Global Creative Director for Wella Professionals Eugene Souleiman created an army of warrior-like models for the Haider Ackerman fall 2011 runway show in Paris.

"The look is both outer worldly and chic," says Souleiman. "Haider Ackerman creates clothes for the connoisseur, he is all about precision and perfection, not softness, and I wanted to create a look that was strong, chic and very rich," he adds.

"I created hair that morphed with the clothing to become part of the total look, almost as if it wasn't hair but a warrior's helmet; part of their battle dress. There is also a reptilian element to the hair, like the beautiful armor of an insect's shell," he adds.

Souleiman worked with Josh Wood, Wella Professionals Global Creative Director for Color, to create petrol and metallic-hued hair pieces, and then added these to the front of the hair to give a subtle color effect. "Our task was not only to create color that complemented the fabric, but also color with an inner depth," says Wood.
